i told myself i'd never smoke
but the burning sensation in my lungs reminds me to breathe
smoking a cigarette is no different than the unrequited love i've experienced
clawing at my lungs trying to find its way out
but there's nowhere for it to go
im not worried about burn holes in my hoodies,
there's burn holes in my soul
so, i smoke and it burns,
but at least it's real
